The first match of the three-match T20 series between India and Afghanistan is being played at Mohali. In this match, India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bowl first and invited the Afghanistan team to bat. But as soon as Team India’s playing eleven was released, the fans expressed their anger on social media. Sanju Samson, who scored a wonderful century in the recent tour of South Africa, was not given a place, the reason for the fans’ anger. Fans predicted that Rohit Sharma will definitely give Sanju Samson a chance in this match against Afghanistan. But nothing like that happened. Fans who did not see Sanju’s name in the playing 11 are lashing out at the selection board on social media. In the third match of the one-day series against South Africa, Sanju Samson broke out with a wonderful century. Sanju played a vital role in the victory of Team India by scoring 108 runs off 114 balls. So it is said that Sanju will get a chance in this series. But fans feel that Sanju has been wronged again.
Jitesh Sharma was selected as the wicket keeper batsman in the team instead of Samson in this match. Along with Jitesh, Tilak Verma was also included in the team. But Tilak’s inclusion in the final squad despite his poor performances in the previous matches angered the fans even more. Sanju scored 40 runs in just 26 balls in his last T20 match. But he did not get a place in the team. The same thing happened with Sanju in the past. This is the reason why fans are angry with Team India.
Team India squad in first match:
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wicket keeper), Shivam Dubey, Akshar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Washington Sundar, Mukesh Kumar.
